Training Log Archive: RobB

Plan was for a long run, but feeling a bit off colour so decided just to take it short and steady.

Event: Langdale
 

Long and wet run. From home out to High Bradfield, Back Tor (miserable), Strines (depressingly felled), Dale Dike (where I nearly ended up running the whole way round), Lower Bradfield and then home. Felt fairly good running and tried to keep the pace just above a plod.

C • 2012 Intercounties 4

Run from home out to Beeley, along Middlewood Road and then back again. Idea was to keep the pace pretty high the whole way. Felt pretty good.

Knocked off work early to squeeze in a long run. Probably over packed my bag a little so took it even steadier than planned. Very windy on top of Burbage and horizontal rain is always nice.

Ran from work, took a loop round Burbage and then along Stanage, Redmires and home.

Feeling quite weary by the end.

C • Quite weary! 2

Run to work. Feeling a bit sluggish.

Track session. 5 x 1600m. Felt really tired on the way, but bouncier during the session itself.

Had convinced myself that I was just going to worry about doing 5 minutes rather than 1600m as didn't think I was going to make the distance. It was therefore a real pleasant surprise to do them all in under 5 minutes (4.57, 4.55, 4.55, 4.55, 4.54). Sometimes you really can't tell how you are going to run during a session - you would think I would have worked this out by now.

Long slow jog back with Pete, discussing the benefits of the traditional 2 week summer break between track and XC season.

C • Dreamy session 1

Plod to work. Legs feeling a bit battered but not too bad.

Run to gym and then home. Legs got progressively sorer as the day went on.

Standard gym session.
